Firecracker

I'll write a more detailed race report and post more pictures later, but here's a nice little summary of my race in Eau Claire today - that's the baseball-sized swelling on my knee that I earned by taco-ing my front wheel when a risky pass went badly.

Update:I just posted the race report and some more pictures.And on an awesomer note, how awesome are these pictures of the second creek crossing? Pretty awesome, huh? Unlike the race pictures I try to take, these actually do a good job conveying the steepness of the trail - it was like a wall coming out of the creek. A slippery, slimy wall.
